1972 was a different time. Many cuts were done to films that were too graphic, so the audience is left with implications to ponder. One is when u see it widescreen, the scene where mari is crying and wesel is watching with this psychotic perverted gleam in his eyes, mari is crying and phyllis leans down to whisper her to run after they chase her. Well, did you notice sadie's head was moving up and down down there for about 2 seconds it shows this, and you can see mari's bare arm and see she is still naked. sadie was giving her oral sex. cuz when phyllis runs, sadie's head pops up fromk down there. this scene was cut. also, mari is dressed again after they chase phyllis and mari tries to plead with junior to run with her. The disemboweled scene was also cut. there were several scenes that were cut but you have to look really hard if you want to see what is happening.

I own the movie on dvd, and you are right Sadie head does pop up after Phyliis starts running,, later on, when Phyliss hit Sadie in the head with a rock, she call her "You stupid Dyke"

I thought the dyke reference was because of Sadie's general demeanour, boob-grabbing and so on. I assumed some sort of rape or sexual assault was implied but didn't see the clip alluded to here. I thought the disembowelling scene was cut alright - yet this was supposed to be a restored version, wasn't it?

At one point Sadie also says something along the lines of "I want something to eat" while leering lasciviously at one of the girls.

There is a direcor's cut version of the film that is about 20 minutes longer. I believe the disembowelling scene is in that version of Last House.

On the dvd release i have, they show some of the cut footage they salvaged as a feature.

It goes to show really how much cutting and rearranging was done to the film

It appears that the original order of events was:
- they make Mari and Phyllis have sex
- Sadie continues giving Mari oral sex
- Krug leaves
- Phyllis asks to put clothes on
- Phyllis runs for it while Said is still busy
- and then it runs from there
